Pineview Lane & Oakview Lane Improvements
Plans for a road improvement project along Pineview Lane, Co.
Rd. 121, and Oakview Lane are currently being developed by City

Three Rivers Park District to complete these improvements. This
project will include reconstruction of Pineview Lane between Co.

A roundabout will be constructed at the intersection of Co. Rd. 121

Road improvements along the Oakview Lane loop directly east
of Pineview Lane will be completed to improve the pavement
surface. The project includes roadway improvements, storm sewer
construction, and trail connection/improvements. There will be a
trail constructed along the west side of Pineview Lane. The trail will

trail system within Elm Creek Park to the south of the intersection of
Pineview Lane and Co. Rd. 121.
Significant traffic impacts can be expected during the summer of
2020 as the project is being constructed. This project is anticipated to
start in spring 2020, with substantial completion in fall 2020. Please

Hydrant Flushing - Week of April 13th, 2020
The semi-annual water main flushing program will begin the week of April 13th, 2020. The
process of flushing the water system may result in low water pressure, cloudy or discolored
water during the days the system is being flushed. The discolored water is not dangerous
to your health. Please be aware of the water quality while doing laundry or other tasks that
require rust-free water.
Flushing fire hydrants and water mains provide several benefits to the water users of our
systems including improving water quality and verifying operation for maintenance or repair.
For questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact Public Works at (763) 427-
3224. As a reminder, street sweeping will begin the week of April 6th.
Smart Irrigation Controllers - Water Conservation for Dayton Residents
The City has been exploring ways to conserve water. As a part of this initiative, staff has been awarded a grant to implement a
responsible irrigation program. The City will provide residents with a smart controller for their irrigation systems at a discounted rate.
The unit will be installed by a City appointed irrigation installer and training will be given at the time of installation. There will be a sign
up form on the City website in the near future. Interested residents will be asked to complete the form and return to City Hall along
with a $100 deposit. There will be a limited number of these units available and will be distributed by applications received until all of
the controllers are distributed. If you would like additional information, please email Martin Farrell at mfarrell@cityofdaytonmn.com.
What Requires a Building Permit?
Spring is a busy time of year for
home improvement projects and
construction! Permits and inspections
are required by the State for many
home improvements projects including:
decks, additions, remodels and
accessory structures over 200 square
feet. Over the counter permits are also
required for small improvements such
as windows, roofing, residing, or water
heaters. Please contact Metro West Inspection Services (763) 479-1720 for
any MN State Building Code questions. In addition to building code, the City
has requirements that determine where improvements can be located on
your property. Zoning code provides regulations related to setbacks, and
sizes of improvements allowed in any given zoning district. Please contact
the City Planning and Zoning Department (763) 712-3221 for any zoning
code related questions. Recent changes to the City Fee Schedule have
simplified some fee structures. Decks are now a flat fee of $260 and a $1
state surcharge. Accessory buildings now have fees depending on size of the
building. The City also hopes to incentivize remodels and improvements to
older homes. Recent changes to the reduced fee schedule have introduced
a 25% reduction to permit and plan review fees for additions, remodels,
and basement finishes to homes which are 20 years or older. If you have
questions regarding any fees, or where permit applications are located on
our website, please contact the front desk at City Hall at (763) 427-4589.
